Chapter 107 Poisoning
After Luo Qingcheng sensed that the spiritual energy within her body was dissipating at an increasingly rapid pace, she had no choice but to abandon her previous idea of surviving until the end.
Activating the Drywood Bell requires Luo Qingcheng's spiritual power. In order to conserve spiritual power, Luo Qingcheng had no choice but to tell Sen not to activate the Drywood Bell on his own before she gave the order.
The withered wood bell is a celestial artifact, and each activation consumes a large amount of Luo Qingcheng's spiritual energy reserves.
Although she had noticed that her spiritual energy was not replenishing itself, she subconsciously assumed it was because wood element was scarce in the desert.
did not expect--
Luo Qingcheng is now just as miserable as a working-class person who suffers from 40-degree Celsius heat in the summer but can't even afford to pay rent, yet earns only 3,000 yuan a month and has to desperately save on electricity to afford air conditioning.
Under the scorching sun, Luo Qingcheng once again experienced what it meant to be scorched by the blazing sun.
In order to avoid dying of dehydration in the desert before her spiritual energy dissipates, she must find a way out of the desert.
But it's easier said than done.
Under extreme conditions, Luo Qingcheng had already shown symptoms of heatstroke. The swirling air in front of her was distorting wildly, and she barely managed to maintain her last bit of consciousness, constantly reminding herself that if she fainted, she would really be eliminated. Only the last bit of determination to obtain the second-stage pill for Hongdou kept her from collapsing.
However, the environment is not the only fatal factor in this desert.
A slender, winding figure appeared silently behind Luo Qingcheng.
The shadow followed her openly, its body pressed tightly against the ground, its forked tongue occasionally darting out to sense the surrounding atmosphere.
Its eyes gleamed with a cold-blooded light as it stared intently at its target not far away—the unsuspecting Luo Qingcheng.
Nearly.
Its muscles tensed, and it swam rapidly, its pupils contracting and dilating as if it were a cold-blooded animal.
suddenly!
It rushed towards Luoqing City like lightning.
This was a sure-fire attack; it always targeted humans who were already on the verge of death from extreme environments, and it had never failed!
Luo Qingcheng seemed to realize something and turned around, but it was too late.
The shadow snake sneered.
But is it really too late?
Luo Qingcheng turned around, but the shadow snake, skilled in hiding and assassination, was nowhere near as dying as he had imagined.
Seeing Luo Qingcheng's meaningful smile, Ying She realized something was wrong.
However, this time, it was truly too late.
Unexpectedly, a vine tightly bound the notoriously cautious Shadow Serpent, suspending it in mid-air.
"So it was you, little thing, who's been following me all this time?"
Luo Qingcheng circled the shadow snake, marveling at it.
She had noticed something following her before she even engaged the monitor lizard.
But no matter how she tried, she couldn't find out what it was.
"Finally caught you."
It's been a long time since I've felt this malice lurking around like a shadow.
Luo Qingcheng sighed, feeling a pang of nostalgia for the unique experience of being a rich second-generation heir before her transmigration.
Sen received Luo Qingcheng's thoughts and, expressionless, activated the withered wood bell.
"bell--"
The perverted expression that made Sen feel disgusted was gone from Luo Qingcheng's face.
The shadow snake bared its fangs, and Luo Qingcheng moved a little further away from it.
However, after Sen activated the immortal artifact, a large portion of his spiritual energy reserves disappeared, which affected the flexibility of the vines binding the shadow snake.
Shadow Serpent's talent is no joke; it instantly transformed into a shadow and escaped from the vines' restraints.
Luo Qingcheng could no longer laugh.
This shadow snake is not easy to catch, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered so much to lure it out.
Luo Qingcheng cursed, "You're more trouble than you're worth."
Sen snapped, "You're the one who's a piece of trash!"
"Fine, fine, you're no good."
Mori:...?
It seems like it has experienced this scene before.
Luo Qingcheng rubbed his temples. Shadow Snake was a cautious person; he wouldn't be so easily fooled next time.
She had to kill this snake, which was eyeing her covetously and was very skilled at assassination, before she exhausted most of her spiritual power!
But considering the description of the shadow snake in "The Overbearing Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me", it seems she can relax a little for the next short period of time.
The story says that the Shadow Serpent is a very alert and vigilant beast. After its first attack fails, it will not attempt to attack again for a long time until it feels that it is absolutely certain of success, at which point it will try to kill its prey again.
With a "whoosh," a slender black shadow darted past Luo Qingcheng's feet.
"hiss--"
Luo Qingcheng felt a sharp pain in his ankle and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Looking down, I saw two obvious bite marks on my ankle.
The venom spread, and Luo Qingcheng's vision went black.
Before she fell into a coma, she secretly vowed that once she found out who the author of "The Overbearing Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me" was, she would definitely find a chance to put him in a sack!
As she fell to the ground, the last thing Luo Qingcheng saw was a black snake slithering towards her, its tongue flicking out, looking quite smug.
"Huh?" a gentle female voice asked in surprise.
Why is there a shadowy snake dancing around the corpse?
She was extremely interested in this kind of thing.
He moved closer and grabbed the shadow snake by its vital spot, as if it were gloating over its successful capture of prey.
Her flawless beauty, so stunning that even the sun and moon seemed to change color, captivated the Shadow Serpent.
She smiled, and a refreshing breeze blew by, like an oasis in the desert, captivating all who saw it.
"Little snake, I've heard that your venom has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Can I have some to study?"
She spoke to Shadow Snake in a very good-natured manner.
The Shadow Serpent seemed to have recovered from the shock of the beauty, and seemed very angry that it had been bewitched by humans. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its venomous fangs, and turned to bite the fair white hand that was holding it.
But she only pinched the shadow snake's vital spot hard, and the fierce shadow snake stopped breathing.
"If you don't want to, then you don't want to. Why are you biting me?"
She seemed to have a very good temper.
Then, he crushed the shadow snake in his hand with one hand.
With some regret, he said to the snake carcass in his hand, "Since you are unwilling, I can only try to make you willing."
She regretfully put away the snake carcass, planning to study it when she had time.
Only then did she turn her gaze to Luo Qingcheng, who was lying on the ground with a face as black as ink.
The moment she saw Luo Qingcheng's face clearly, she gracefully covered her mouth with her hand and laughed out loud.
He then stepped forward and asked the unconscious Luo Qingcheng, "Miss Luo, why are you always lying on the ground? Is it because you like it?"
This time, no one could answer her question.
Wanqing squatted down.
I checked the location of the wound; it was on my ankle.
Seeing the black aura that had spread to Luo Qingcheng's face, she gently placed her hand on Luo Qingcheng's wrist.
He said happily, "Miss Luo, you've been poisoned with a kind of poison I've never seen before!"
It's a pity that Luo Qingcheng is no longer an ordinary person and has developed resistance to poison, so it's not quite the original.
However, life is full of disappointments.
Wanqing has a clear and open-minded perspective.
To ensure that Luo Qingcheng wouldn't die before she had a complete understanding of the matter, she took out a pill that emitted an eerie purple light from her pocket and put it into Luo Qingcheng's mouth.
Luo Qingcheng immediately foamed at the mouth.
